Registration is now open for MAPPA/MiAPPA 2013!
Dear MiAPPA Colleagues,
We invite you to register for the MAPPA/MiAPPA 2013
annual conference and exhibition as we join as facilities professionals on in
Grand Rapids, Michigan from October 27-October 31.
As facilities management professionals, we play a vital role in the success of the higher
education institutions. In order to stay current with the changes in the industry and
re-energize our commitment to our profession join with colleagues from the mid-west
region of APPA comprised of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and
Wisconsin for an amazing event!
Our programming offerings this year will be centered on solutions for improvement,
sharing of best practices, or innovative approaches relevant to facilities professionals
throughout the educational community. We will be addressing such topical content as
energy, finance, leadership, security/emergency preparedness and much more. You are
encouraged to view the conference website at
http://mappa.appa.org/annualmeeting.cfm,
often to see the latest programmatic offerings.
Our host city of Grand Rapids has big-city excitement and natural splendor as well as
cultural sophistication and small-town warmth. Grand Rapids is the home of John Ball
Park, Belknap Hill, and the Gerald R. Ford Museum, the final resting place of the 38th
President of the United States and former First Lady Betty Ford. Significant buildings
in the downtown include the DeVos Place Convention Center, Van Andel Arena, as well as
the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts. Along the Grand River guests of MAPPA/MiAPPA
2013 can visit symbolic burial mounds which were used by the Hopewell tribe, and much,
much more!
We encourage you to visit
MAPPA/MiAPPA 2013 today, view the latest programming updates,

October is not too far off, so mark those calendars and we look forward to welcoming you
